As far as I know, there was no law against this in Poland when I had my company. In that sense, my experience might be outdated

Right, but I can do that as a Belgian. By what you said earlier, the Belgian tax office wouldn't be too happy about that, which would be odd since this was being advertised in Belgium at some point

I've added a bit more text in an edit, which I assume was after you saw my message. I'll write it here again.

I'm wondering, if what you say is true, how can Estonian and Lithuanian governments provide e residence for "digital" companies that don't even have any physical presence in the country?

I don't have the company anymore, but I did have a part time employee. You're saying that was enough for the company to be "valid"?

All my taxes were done properly. Both governments knew exactly what was going on.

I honestly highly doubt what you're saying is true. If you have any sources on that, I would appreciate it.

If what you say is true, how can Lithuanian/Estonian e residence be a thing?

That would possibly be tax fraud. Take a look at my other comment for more information about my similar situation.

That doesn't make much sense to me. I had a spolka z o.o. for years without living in Poland. I filed taxes in both Belgium and Poland and that was never an issue.

As an employee, you are taxed at the location where you do the work, so as a belgian working for a polish company, that polish company would have to pay social contributions etc for you in belgium instead of Poland.

As a shareholder, though, you are not working as an employee for the company, and as such you are not taxed on the work that you do, you are just taxed on your personal income which comes from your shares of the company (dividends).

Your tax residence is where you live more than half of a year, or where it can be proven that your actual life is built, for example by having kids or a family home. That's irrelevant in this case though.

As far as I'm aware, there is no reason why you couldn't have a spolka oo in Poland without actually living there. At the very least, I never had any problems with it, and not my accountant nor any tax office from either country made any issue out of it.

I was issued a pesel even though I wasn't living there.

Surely this is not the case with spółka z o.o.?

Man, you never reference early 2000 as 10 years ago? Time flies

How about you measure all those things at the same time? What's with this black and white view?

Nah it's progressive

I consider it unprofessional. I am in IT, however.

Where I'm from if an llc fails within 3 years cause of mismanagement you are still personally liable

They are a HR company

Are these valid across the border? How does that work?

I consider myself full stack and to me that means that if you give me a task I will get it done, whatever the requirements or whichever part of the stack. Certainly my skills and abilities aren't equal across the stack but that's not what that term means to me anyway

Gatekeeping much? It's definitely pizza, just not traditional Italian

Do you have any record of the same number winning twice in a row?

Wow, I've lost my touch

Nice? Are we using the same SO?

Sure is, but is the idea really that bad? Too bad it won't happen though

Doesn't it also put a mark on their head? If you were a bad guy trying to kill people there, wouldn't this guy be your first target?

"similar to what I said earlier..."

I think he/she meant PiS and government in general, not specifically those at this event.

Hardly the point. He said Europe is behind in tech while this American company actually uses European tech

More specifically below the cost to produce them, which is illegal behaviour
